Hello Paul, first of all, thanks a lot to make Opie available on Angstrom!

Installation of Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r2-poodle-installkit.tgz went pretty smooth. One advice to everyone: You really should remove all SD- and CF-cards when booting the very first time. This may avoid strange problems later. - System info shows correct model ("Zaurus SL-B500 or SL-5600") - Cancel & Ok buttons work as expected. - Calendar, Addressbook, Home and Mail button does not seem to work. The activity-LED starts blinking and in the tray bar the hourglass icon comes up, but nothing happens. - Dropdown-Menu-button (second from right) does work - Selecting "Suspend" from the menu does suspend the Zaurus correctly. - Suspend and wake-up in general does work OK - The "Cancel" button is on a Poodle labeled as On/Off button as well. Normally holding Cancel for a few seconds suspends the Poodle. In this Opie-image nothing happens. Syslog mentions "power.c: device-level power management is not supported yet." ([Bug 2367]) - (real) keyboard: The "Fn" key works strange. It seems it's mapped to the "home" key, e.g. it jumps to the first column after entering some chars in the console application and then pressing Fn. - Since the Fn key seems broken, you can't enter e.g. "Fn-b", which is the minus (-) char. - cursor keys work correct, even when rotating display by 90° forth and back - Wake-up on Alarm works nicely Problems probably related to kernel 2.6.17: - SD card support is really bad. Lots of "buffer I/O errors" in syslog. - some short ugly screen dissortions when moving the backlight slider (Patch in bug database available) -> I really would appreciate if we could switch to kernel 2.6.23 for Poodle. Henry von Tresckow proposed that once as well and I fully agree with him. I tested 2.6.23 once myself (self-compiled from Angstrom dev branch), and it works a whole lot better. Some uncritical bugs: - The city time application shows for various places around the world the same time when clicking on the world map (e.g. test Europe and Japan). Generic wishes: - wpa_supplicant is not included in this image, so WPA won't work. It would be nice if it could be included. Thanks again!
